00:01Did you ask them Paul to be more positive with the passing?
00:03I think Whiteman in particular is always looking forward to it.
00:06Yeah, we've got to look forward.
00:08The message hasn't changed, I showed them clips of the looting game
00:12when we'd only had two days with them and the response for that game
00:16then I showed them the game against Stoke.
00:19So, yeah, there are other factors, like I said, about the scheduling
00:24and things like that, but we try and change that with the changes
00:26that we've made in the last few games to keep the energy, the freshness.
00:30But it's just a mindset and an intent to go and play
00:33and whatever we play like that, I'll be happy with them.
00:35No problem, they'll defend them.
00:37Defend them if they're getting on the ball, being brave.
00:39Yeah, it's when we don't do that that we'd have problems.
00:43You've spoke about getting goals from elsewhere in the team.
00:45He's told Arsene's showing he could be someone who can chip in
00:48with seven, eight seasons sort of thing.
00:50Yeah, I hope so. Yeah, I hope so.
00:53The goal is really good, obviously his role changed slightly
00:56because we changed shape.
00:57We passed the ball really quickly.
00:59Emil on one side, then came back the other.
01:01And again, Ben trying to play the pass centrally into the nines
01:05and link off that.
01:06We lose the ball, regain it quickly, then play really quick.
01:10And because we've gone centre, they're really narrow,
01:12it means Mads can deliver from a better area.
01:14And Steph is in there because he's been trying to link with the forwards.
01:16So that's why I really enjoyed the goal.
01:18It's everything that we need to be better at next season,
01:21everything that would like to be one of the areas that would like to improve them.
01:26Do you think Mads grew into the game as well?
01:28Yeah, definitely.
01:30I've spoken with Mads a lot, like him, like what he does, like how he is.
01:35But I've challenged him, he needs more goals and assists.
01:38I think he can do that by keeping the ball, playing simple, playing simple
01:43and making sure he's in the box himself more.
01:45Do you think he feels an onus to play that killer pass if he's not seeing the ball as much as he likes?
01:51No, I don't think it's that. I think it's just in him and he does force that pass a lot.
02:00One of my favourite goals this season was Hull at home where you play down the right into Sam's the 10.
02:06He comes across Mads as the opposite 10 and he just plays a simple ball wide to Kane.
02:11Kane then squares it and Potsy puts it in.
02:13I want him to think about getting the pass before the assist a lot more, you know?
02:18It can't always be Mads looking for the assist because we give the ball away too often.
02:24Lindsay coming on, did you feel a threat in the box from Kive?
02:29Well, there wasn't that point. I think we pre-empted it because, like I said,
02:33you know what's coming in the stage of the season.
02:35We'd gone, changed to like the four diamond two.
02:38So we just had two full backs then and only two centre backs.
02:42They'd put Miette on, they'd gone Chambers to right back then, O'Dowder.
02:46So we knew we were going to put six forward.
02:49Yeah, so it was just more pre-empting that.
02:52So we'll take a look and see
